    Merino tops getting holes

    I have a couple merino tops Kuiu specifically, and they are turning up with holes all over them, like freakin expensive swiss cheese. Am I just a total rookie and there is some kind of merino eating insect that eats only that and nothing else? Anyone else have this issue? I love my Kuiu gear...

    anyone ever said "this place has it all"?

    anyone ever hunted the Frying Pan River area? Units 44 or 45, thinking second rifle season. Im thinking weather would be the biggest challenge, Im guessing I would need to be prepared for tons of snow to sub freezing temps. Looks like some rugged country, so far this area is in the lead.

    New Winchesters from Portugal

    I havent come across one yet, have seen a few on Gunbroker, unfortunatly the days of the gun stores with walls full of beautiful long guns are over here in the midwest, Cabelas or Basspro is the only game in town with a selection so I havent been able to paw at one. I have seen the Montana's...
